| SIDNEY (CAFE AND LUNCH R ROOM:

McBride. Government. is Scored for Agricultural Policy~But

- Facts Speak Louder Than. Words. - |
_ (CONTRIBUTED) |

Drowning men catch . at straws, and

with no less ardor politicians catch at

votes. Mr. Alec Hamilton, who has been

‘known for years ‘as-a stone mason, with
no small. skill at his craft, has blossomed
forth» as a ‘farmer, and Mr. John Oliver,
who has had ‘more success as a rancher
than a politician, has been brought: into
‘the: constituency’ to: stump the. district in
his. favor. And. SO. the cry. goes up. that the
Conservative Government, having: ruined
the agriculture ‘of the. Province, is taking

a ‘mephistophelian delight in slaughtering

‘the dairy herds of British Columbia. The

. charges: ‘smack ‘of. the catchpenny variety,

and: although: no. figures are quoted in
support of these lean and flashy accusa-
tions, the - speakers seem to think that
their well- rounded.periods will carry ‘con-
Viction.. Sir. Richard | McBride, when
speaking. last. Friday evening: at ‘Sidney,

“said that while the appropriation for. the

; Department of Agriculture nine years ago

solos.

: ‘Government -

amounted to $50, 000, the sum expended
by. this Department in 1913 “exceeded half

‘a million: dollars, and: ‘the question of still

larger appropriations for: the near future
was: under. discussion. Sir Richard ‘dlso

; spoke: ‘of - the: successes. gained “by: the
in. “competition | with “the

seeepes world's: ‘most: famous. growers in the dis-
% play of, apples in. Great Britain, where
